1. Out of a bag with 10 colored cubes we drew 10 times, but each time we drew one out, we replaced it before we drew again. After 10 drawings we counted 4 red (R) cubes and 6 green (G) cubes. On the second round of 10 draws there were 3 R and 7 G. The third round had 5 R and 5 G. The 4^th round saw 3 R and 7G. The 5^th round of 10 had 5 R and 5 G. The 6^th round showed 1 R and 9 G. The last round was 7 R and 3 G. Mathematically, the probability shown through the draws matched the 10 cubes. How many red cubes are there out of the 10 cubes?
